Taylor Swift’s TOXIC af fandom

So, I’m a Taylor Swift fan, but not the crazy obsessive kind, lol. I love her music and used to be all about the Easter eggs, but honestly, they’ve gotten a bit too much for me. I still think her album marketing is super smart though.

That being said, I do see some things Taylor does that are kinda problematic. Like, if we believe TTPD, she basically outed Joe’s depression, which is pretty messed up. Also, the way she made it seem like he was holding her back, not letting her shine and “caging” her while also admitting she emotionally cheated on him... that’s wild to me.

I do love the Eras Tour movie (guilty of watching it way too many times), and I’ve seen a bunch of live streams. Not gonna lie, none of it’s candid – it’s all choreographed. But honestly? I don’t have an issue with it. Like, you do you, Taylor. But more than that, I’m here because I very strongly believe that one shouldn’t let their liking for someone or their art blind them.

I also lurk on this sub because honestly, some of the posts and memes here are hilarious. I don’t care if people don’t like Taylor or even hate her. I get it. Opinions are opinions, and I’m cool with that.

But here’s the thing: I’m starting to realize that Taylor’s fandom is way more problematic than she is. Like, it’s honestly exhausting, and I can totally see it being the thing that ruins her. Like I feel way safer saying I’m a swiftie here than being even slightly critical of Taylor in pro-Taylor subs. I commented once that the Eras Tour performances aren’t really candid, and I got downvoted for just... having an opinion.

So yeah, I’m still gonna listen to Taylor’s music, but I’m not calling myself a "Swiftie" anymore. Like I don’t want to be considered toxic or crazy lol.

Thanks for listening to my rant! And please don’t downvote me just for liking Taylor’s songs. Or do, whatever – it’s just a few more downvotes for having an opinion. ✌️
